I'm going back to the UP again! I've been there many times
and enjoy it each time. Plus I will be working my way
eastward in the UP to grids I've never activated before
(reverse VUCC donchyaknow).  But I should be good down the
length of Lake Michigan from them.  In the northwoods, the
trees will block some of the high bands but let's work every
band that we can!!  Please spin your beams north and look
for me--I hope you want the grids and q's as badly as I want
your q and grid :-) .

Yes, I'm looking for ALL of you--Milwaukee, Chicago,
Michigan, Eau Claire, Twin Cities, Illinois, Iowa, and
everywhere in between.  If I'm not pointed quite your way,
I'll spin your way as soon as I possibly can.  (Get my
attention with some (slow) CW :-) )  Kinda hard to hope for
AU when we went all of August with no sunspots!

Some of these grids are new for me and I have no idea how
good the spots will be--I'll do the best I can.
